Jack of Hearts (and other parts) - Lev A.C. Rosen

One of the things I'm trying to do is review stuff as soon after finishing them as possible. Sure, waiting means that my feelings and thoughts have time to settle and become organized, but it also gives me more time to just...not write the review. I'd like to get back to actually reviewing more stuff.

 

But this book reminds me of why I sometimes liked to wait. Because right now I don't know how I'm going to rate this. Parts of it are really good, and it's certainly keeping me hooked. But I'm so angry and sick right now, and not in a "this is a difficult but important book" sort of way. I would warn folks who are dealing with stalking away from this, because so far it's just been a lot of "there's nothing that could possibly be done to make your situation better, no one will help you, and even the people who try to help you won't accomplish anything."
